[HC] Gankstaboo's Ranger Guide (RoA, LA) 18k DPS RoA Ranger

Hi, this guide is very nicely done, and thank you for your hard work.

Do u utilize point blank?

Can you please make a softcore version of passive graph, which would more focus on output than Hp. And please take 0.11.0 patch into account.

Thank you.
I too would like a nice softcore build :D

Hey I was just going to get started on a RoA character as I had a Quality RoA and Conc Effect drop for me, and having never played one before, what would the end game build look like without Koams? I am currently playing Anarchy and since Koams is disabled, would the build be basically the same, or are there certain things you can spec out of?
Hey, noob question here:

why did you not take Unwavering Stance if you took Iron Reflexes? Is there an obvious reason I'm not seeing?

I think the mistake you might have made is thinking that the "cannot evade attacks" on unwavering stance is somehow related to iron reflexes. Please note that iron reflexes effectively changes your chance to evade to 0 by converting evasion to armour. Unwavering stance removes the chance to evade entirely, which is already effectively 0 if you have iron reflexes. These skills complement each other.

They also provide different utility. It is still entirely possible to get stunlocked (think charging rhoas with increased physical damage) with the extra armor provided by Iron Reflexes converting evasion to armor.

Unwavering Stance: prevents stun from damage, removes chance to evade

Iron Reflexes: Boosts armour rating by converting evasion to armour, therefore no chance to evade (or could possibly be some base value, I don't know the exact mechanics off the top of my head).

That's not quite right.

Iron Reflexes removes all your evasion rating. It does not remove your chance to evade. With 0 evasion rating you still have a 5% chance to evade, even if you take Iron Reflexes.

Unwavering Stance removes your chance to evade. It turns it to 0%, a number that's otherwise impossible to attain even with 0 evasion rating.

Would you take RT while leveling with the RoA build? Currently level 48, and about to finish up the last 2 points in the Marauder tree and was thinking about picking up RT until i can get my hands on a Lionseye in the future.

In your level 80 LA build, why do you go like up from golem's blood towards Blood Magic? if you went right by Unwavering and that way up, it would take the same points, but you could pick up unwavering stance for 1 total extra point?

I knew it was something close to this, just couldn't be bothered looking up the base chance to evade etc. Thanks for the clarification!
is good to get pure psych bow or is better find another with lighting dmg?
